What Will NASA’s Future Moon Base Look Like?

Over half a century ago during the Apollo missions, after landing on the surface, astronauts would usually stay for less than 48 hours. After that short time, they were required to get back on the lander and begin their journey back to Earth. The Moon lacked the proper infrastructure to support humans for extended stays, which in turn held back the possibilities and exploration that could be completed. For the upcoming Artemis missions, NASA wants to create a substantial lunar base, capable of keeping astronauts safe, healthy, and prepared for work on the surface. While there are still a few unknowns, we have a good idea of the future base location, general structures and plans, and how they will deal with temperature, radiation, etc. While it won’t be easy, if done right, this lunar outpost could be the start of something incredible and help facilitate many future missions on and beyond the Moon. Here I will go more in-depth into NASA’s Moon base plan, the purpose it plays, what to expect in the coming years, and more.
